Even the snakes are getting too hot

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 8h

At least that is what I think. Our weather was off and on cloudy yesterday, then around 4 p.m. got very hot. Hubby had a few errands that had him in and out and at one point he brought Lady in off the porch where she likes to...

Tuesday, after a holiday

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 5 Jul

Monday is our scheduled trash day. Obviously they do not do it on a holiday, so it went out this morning. I am looking at somewhat overcast skies and it is not heating up too fast yet. That can change. Today I have a dental...

Bitty is assisting

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 4 Jul

This evening I put Bitty in the office while we ate. That is because no matter what is on the menu she wants to be in a lap and whine and beg for our food. I gave her treats and shut her in. When I came back she wanted to stay...

Time to rest

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 4 Jul

I wake up early, even without an alarm. Today I have worked inside, some, and I have mowed for two half hour sessions. That will be all the mowing I do today. Before I mow again I will replace the filter on my mower. I think it...

Investigating the possibilities

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 4 Jul

Okay, guys, there is still some access point for my cats to get out. Mind you, they do not use the same way in, but they are definitely going out. Either that, or Bob or I are sleepwalking and letting them out, but I do not think...

I have been gone all day

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 3 Jul

Hopefully I do not make this too confusing. My friend who lives in Hutchinson messaged me earlier this week. Her brother sometimes fills the pulpit in a church in my town. He was doing so today. She wanted me to come, as she was...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 2 Jul

I do not feed my cats food at the table. I do not feed them except in the kitchen. Except if they are outside and come in I feed them by the door. Bittu. however, seems to know what people food, and table food is. She often begs...

The temperature dropped

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 1 Jul

We had a storm front move through. The temperature dropped and that felt good. I mowed a bit more. I just need to get to it. Hubby got the rider mower out, in the heat of the day, and then did not get around to any mowing. It is...

July 1, new month

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 1 Jul

So far the break from school has been crazy. I am trying to get back in some kind of routine. My daughter will visit at the end of the month. Today I mowed a little while and will likely do so again. I shampooed the dining room...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 30 Jun

I woke up at 4:30, that was over two hours ago. I had a headache and needed coffee. Hubby woke up and came out and we visited for a little bit, then he went back to bed. I had breakfast, and then I put a casserole in the oven...

This only applies to the USA. In our town it is legal to set off fireworks starting today. And my neighbors did. Bob and I were sitting out enjoying some shade and an afternoon breeze. Neighbor kids started with the fireworks,...

I was outside, preparing for some yard work. The weather was pleasant yesterday afternoon, then Bob called. He said "Are you sitting down?" and I said "No". "Well he said, there's this nurse here who tells me that she is working...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 27 Jun

It is six in the morning, and we are having just a bit of coolness. Hubby said the doctor yesterday told him Tuesday will likely be his dismissal. Today is trash day. So I will take it to the curb. The cooler weather makes me...

Crazy cats giving me gray hair

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 26 Jun

The temperature dropped a little and a breeze picked up. I went outside about 8:30 to do some yard work. There is an abandoned house and garage next door, full of furniture and stuff. The lady's son mows the front yard, and that...

Another step on the road home

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (145338) • United States 25 Jun

When I stopped to pick up what Bob needed in El Dorado, on my way to Wichita, he called me. They were wanting to put in a PICC line. He wanted me there when they did it. It is an indwelling port to give his medicine through. I...

It is not quite lunch time and we are hanging out in the office with air conditioning. I am flea treating the rooms one by one. Bitty is not to go in the rooms I have done until it has dried, the bottle says. That is okay. If I...
